<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>:

 Web. </p>
<p class="whs4">You may not see all of the icons and links 
 described above, depending on your product license and the privileges 
 assigned to you by your administrator.</p>
<p>A status message may be displayed on the home page when you log in. 
 This message provides information from your administrator about the selected 
 project, such as when objects are being updated.</p>
<h3>
<a name="Shared Reports">Shared Reports</a></h3>
<p>The Shared Reports folder is where you can save reports, documents, 
 and other objects that you want to share with other users. Depending on 
 their access permissions, other users may be able to access, view, and 
 edit the objects stored in this folder.</p>
<p>Your user and group object permissions determine the objects that are 
 available to you and other users in the Shared Reports folder. For example, 
 you might have access to only Folder A in the Shared Reports folder, another 
 user might have access to only Folder B, while a group of other users 
 has access to both folders. </p>
<h3>
<a name=bookmark>My Reports</a></h3>
<p>The My Reports folder is where you can save personal reports, documents, 
 and other objects that only you can access. You can also create subfolders 
 within the My Reports folder to organize your reports and documents.</p>
<p>You may not have access to the My Reports folder if:</p>
<ul>
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>You are logged 
 in as a guest user. </p></li>
	
<li class=p-TopicTextBulleted><p class=TopicTextBulleted>Your administrator 
 has imposed access restrictions on users or user groups for the My Reports 
 folder. </p></li>
</ul>
